Hope for the Spri ngs.

Shaw has force OF men at work
on the Springs and they are sink
ing in the solid rock in search OF
water. At depth of is inches be-
lew the surface they have found
hot water that is not reduced by
bailing, and the search will be con
tinued. With the machinery Shaw
has he can pump l 800 gallons an
hour.
1t is thought by some that the
earthquake opened a new reservoir
which, when filed will cause the
water to back up and find a vent
where it did before.
Swift, who knows the moods of
the springs, thinks that il a month
or so the flow will be resumed.
There is also considerable talk Of
sinking an artesian well. Shaw is
making a game fight for the water,
and if energy will win he will soon
be on his feet again.

How it was Affected by Local
Disturbances.

How it was Affected by Local
Disturbances.
Years ago Professor Stewart, the
geologist, kept a saloon in San Jose.
He was at that time quite an ex-
pert in science, and invented an
instrument for recording earthquake
shocks. It consisted of sensitive
rod with a fne-pointed pencil at
ether end, which responded to the
slightest tremor of the earth and
recorded the vibration on paper.
Stewart rugged this up in his saloon,
and it was great object of inter-
est.
The San Jose Murcury published
something every day about the
seisnometer, as it was called, and
noted the fact that the vibrations
increased in strength and frequency
as the temperature increased. The
warmer the day the more the shock.
The instrument substantiated Stew
arts theory that there was a slight
vibration of the earth every hour of
the day.
just as the scientific world was
taking a great interest in this mat
ter someone discovered that the vi
brations were caused by an old SOW
scratching her back against the
building under which she went for
a snoose in the heat of the day.
The day this discovery was made
by some small boys lecture on the
seisnometer aud earthquakes in
general was advertised. but it did
not come off, and the whole Coast
had good laugh over the affair.

station house early this morning, and this
afternoon charred corpses victims of the same
laundering or carelessneS3, were laid upon the
station platform, while three miles west down
the track of the Chicago and Atlantic railway
near lonely old wafer tank, piles of fearfully
tangled debris marked the spot where a coils
ION, seldom equalled for terrible results, had
occurred. According to the best estimate
obtainable, for only an estimate was possible.
FULLY THIRTY HUMAN LIVES
had been sacrificed outright, and half that
number OF persons had suffered injuries more
or less serious. As nearly as can be gathered
from the confused stories told, the concrete
facts are that the passenger train was the east
bound express, which left Chicago at Z Is last
night. An eccentric strap had broken, and the
driving wheels on one side became useless.
The engineer had stopped at the water tank
TO repair, thinking he could do SO in Il few min
utes. He had not stopped more than one min
ute when a fast freight train, loaded with
dressed meat, crashed into the rear of the
train. The last car OF the train was a heavy
Pullman sleeper. This. when struck by the
freight engine, crushed three coaches in front
and appears TO have killed or wounded every
body in them.
1t is about settled that no one will ever know
definitely how many persons persisted i'll the
Chicago and Atlantic horror. Estimates con-
tiuu2 to vary from thirty down to ten One
more of the victims has been identified a
young Irish woman, named Malone, from Chi
cAgo, Tho bodies OF DR.. Perry, his wife and
child were so reduced by the action Of the
flames that they were easily gotten into a box

OF each family. Sunday afternoon A. j.
Coin and William Hand, while going along

Some words passed between them. The bad
feeling soon asserted itself and in few mo-
ments both parties had drawn their pistols and
began firing Mt each other. 1t is n disputed
question which fired first. Hand received u
pistol bah in his right shoulder and the left
side OF has abdomen. Coin was shot in or near

been shot, and after having put two balls into
the body of Hand he took step farther and
sent another ball crashing through Hands
